[Video]Staredown: Andre Ward vs. Carl Froch

[Sparked_1985]

I get that feeling.

I get the feeling Froch is delusional. And because he outboxed Abraham and Glen Johnson feels he is some kind of master boxer.

Showtime, who genuinely know literally nothing about Carl Froch and what he is like as a fighter have jumped on that and now the majority of fans outside the UK also feel that Froch is some great skilled master boxer.

Which of course has helped his ego.

I think he thinks he can outbox Ward. The guy couldn't outbox Jermain Taylor.


Also, in terms of not knowing what he's saying, he sounds like an absolute idiot in this staredown.

"When Dirrell went down on one knee, I was like, what the **** is he doing....idiot".

"So then I did it aswell"

He did look like a twat though. Very un-English behaviour.

Froch is rightly humiliated by that, haha.

Anybody got a video of that?? I haven't seen it??

Dirrell won that fight I thought.

I am probably one of the biggest Froch fans on this site, but I just can't see him getting a good, honest, no-gift decision type of victory over Ward (excluding him KOing Ward of course). I just think Ward brings too much to the table, but I really hope I am wrong though, I love Froch's personality. I still laugh to myself when I think of his comment that "I hurt myself shaving more than Dirrell ever did". LOL. I am really hoping for the good of boxing that he can pull it out, as I would be much more hyped about a Froch vs. Bute fight than a Ward vs. Bute fight next.

They were holding hands aswell if I remember correctly.

i think his previously underrated skills have now become over rated lol. I dont mind him going on about that though. Its his "concussive" power in both hands i dont get. He hasnt come close to stopping anyone since Taylor. (Although tbf 3 outta the 4 guys he faced are iron jawed)

I think he's funny, especially his press releases (dunno how much input he has in them though. Tyson Fury's are good too and they had the same promoter).

Im hoping he drags Ward into a war and pulls of the upset, but i think im gonna be disappointed in both aspects. I reckon it'll be a dull fight and Ward will win.

Shame, I'd love to see how ****y Froch gets if he won. Probably as much as you'd cringe!!

I've never thought he was all that skilled really.

The only time I've really seen him dominate a Top ranked fighter with his skills is Arthur Abraham and that's mainly down to the fact he averages 3.5 punches a round.

Yeah, his power is definitely overrated. His KO% since the super six is an overwhelming 0%.

I can't see it. I think Ward will be the one dictating how the fight goes. If Ward wants it to be an inside fight he will, if he doesn't, it wont'.

Oh man, If Froch pulls this off he'll be unbearable.

Dirrell won that fight I thought.

In the stream in which I watched that fight, the chat was surprisingly very well mannered and the Brits and Americans were cordial throughout the fight.

ANYWAY, I don't think any of us gave it to Froch. I think I gave it to Dirrell by either three or four rounds (and I had three or four even since there was such little action). Froch simply did not land on Dirrell for the first five or six rounds, and Dirrell... well, Dirrell landed about once or twice each round.

I am not in any way suggesting anybody goes back to watch that fight. It was awful and you won't get that time of your life back.

[The Surgeon]

Thanks for this buddy, i havnt watched it yet but i'l give it a look 2mo - should be good!

[TaurusJ27]

Well that's it. I'm know hyped up for the fight after watching that.
